![]() I don’t know that you and I had ever met face-to-face but, I know a lot of the folks on your team and it’s been very important to get z/VM involved in participating in this open environment and to enable it so that it can plug into the various management tools like OpenStack so I’m thrilled to be talking with you today. I really love working with customers on that part of it. So working on that part of it, and of course the part I really love is when I get to work with customers who are looking at trying to enable their z/VM system for cloud and how can they do that. That my team has the right focus on things, that we’re working on things in our drivers that we need to be working on and that we’re giving back to the community, because of course with an open source community, you don’t just want to be putting a bunch of code out there and asking them to take it. ![]() And then kind of the more fun part of my job is working with the OpenStack community, and making sure that we’re contributing properly to the OpenStack community. ![]() So part of my job is the sort of boring project manager-y, team leader-y stuff kinda, hosting meetings, keeping track of where we are on milestones. It’s our oldest and our flagship virtualization platform For Z Systems, and within that, I am a team lead for the, what we call the cloud enablement portion of z/VM, so I have a team partially here in the US, partially in China that work on the OpenStack drivers, we work on them taking them up into what we call the cloud manager appliance, and we work on supporting that, so all of the documentation, all of the customer issues that come with it, and then we do a lot of the presentations about it and going out and talking about it. So I work at IBM here in Endicott, New York, which is the birthplace of IBM, and I work on z/VM, and that’s the virtualization platform. So listen, to get started maybe you can tell us a little about your role at IBM and your team, and a little bit about what you do.Įmily: Sure. So Emily, welcome, it’s a real pleasure to talk with you today.Įmily: Oh thanks Jeff! Thanks for having me on. In addition, the project seeks to involve the participation of academic institutions to help assist in creating educational programs aimed at developing the mainframe Linux engineers and developers of tomorrow. The goal of the project is to excite the Linux community around the use of the mainframe and to foster collaboration across mainframe community and develop and exploit shared Linux tool sets, resources, and services within the mainframe environment. As a Linux Foundation Project, the Open Mainframe Project is intended to help create a mainframe focus, open-source technical community and to serve as a focal point for the development and use for enterprise Linux and a Mainframe computing environment. The conversation is sponsored by the Open Mainframe Project. Emily is an IBM software engineer working on OpenStack and cloud enablement for IBM’s virtualization platforms, so we’re looking forward to having a great conversation. Today I am very pleased to host the “I Am A Mainframer” interview series, in a conversation with Emily Kate Hugenbruch. IBM has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.Jeffrey: Jeffrey Frey, IBM fellow and retired CTO of IBM’s Mainframe platform, and very much a mainframe enthusiast. A remote attacker could gain access to configuration files which could lead to remote code execution in the context of the process. The specific flaw exists within .controller.RequestAccessController servlet which contains a file disclosure vulnerability in the file variable. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Rational Focal Point. December 20th, 2013 IBM Rational Focal Point RequestAccessController Servlet Information Disclosure Vulnerability ZDI-13-285
